Well I've just rebuild the gaming rig AKA the media centre AKA the server!

It now has a 500GB mirrored SATA array and two new illuminated fans. The fans just replaced existing ones, but they had the 3 pin plugs on so I can connect them to the speed controller in addition to them having tri-colour LEDs <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well I discovered one thing pretty quickly - my speed controller works by pulsing! PWM at a rate of about 3 a second makes the LEDs look mental, especially with 2 fans going at different rates!
